Tyler Too writes "Beware, mortals: Cthulhu has returned, and he's armed with bacon and an unhealthy obsession with geek brains. It's a really bizarre and hilarious choose-your-own-adventure saga starring the Great Old One himself, Sergey Brin, Anonymous, David Pogue, and non-Euclidian tacos with bacon."

Wow. That was one seriously long-winded piece of racism. And a rather sad attempt to blame racism on its victims. You may think you have intellectualized your way to rationalizing your personal prejudices, but rest assured that those of us with brains (of any ethnicity) see right through your 'arguments'. I wish I could believe that this was some sort of elaborate April Fools' joke, so that it wouldn't make me want to puke. Unfortunately, I'm sure you actually believe that you stumbled upon some sort o

Whats dangerous about it is that it is one excellent piece of rationalization, and in some cases, absolutely true.

1) Reverse racism does suck. It is the height of hypocrisy and willful ignorance to act as a victim of racism only to employ it yourself. Judging anybody by the color of their skin is patently ridiculous and offensive it has no place in any advanced society. You should be judged by your actions, and at the most afterward, your words.

Although this thread is mostly offtopic, I feel compeled to comment here. Lovecraft in his writings clearly had an dislike of certain cultures, blaming them for the degridation of our nation. Sadly, he did make some accurate observations. The slums that he wrote of had seen decline from those immigrants just as our neighborhoods see the negative effects from influx of other cultures. We are quick to rightly point out the evils of the ganster lifestyle and the "gimme" attitude.

mmmm, bacon, oh beautiful bacon.Ironically at the Asian buffet I dined at last night there was squid in hotsauce w/peppers and veggies in salad form that I sprinkled bacon bits on and enjoyed the texture of the little suckered tentacles. Coincidence? Absolutely. However I believe in Hoffstadters recursive universe.mmmm, bacon.

The best/. April Fool's stories are the ones that are actual links to other sites doing actual funny things for April 1st.

And this one is pretty funny if I do say so myself, but then again I ate too many non-Euclidean Tacos with Bacon and, after meeting the Tentacular one himself, well, ended up like this: "You have a powerful temptation to make Linux your primary operating system and start coding in emacs. So this is madness..."

Seriously folks, this is a slashdot tradition here! It may not be a good tradition, but many traditions aren't. The admins here have been doing this for over ten years, if the whining didn't work in the 90's, it sure as hell ain't gonna get you anywhere now, so STFU and come back tomorrow!

As Lovecraftian musicals go I prefer Shoggoth on the Roof, a Lovecraftian version of Fiddle on the Roof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaJckcCZtBQ [youtube.com] is the opening song (they can all be found on Youtube).

Ahh, yes - the Howard Philip Lovecraft Historical Society. They also recorded some very nice Lovecraftian Christmas, err... Solstice Carols with the Dagon Tabernacle Choir. Here [youtube.com] is an example. Come to think of it, that is the only physical CD I bought in the last 3 years, the guys deserve it. Check out their homepage [cthulhulives.org], if you don't know them. They also made an absolutely brilliant silent movie titled "Call of Cthulhu".

Not bad actually. Your eventual choices are:
a) go mad and get eaten
b) run away and spend the rest of your life haunted by what your saw
Pretty Lovecraftian. But I will never look at Hulu the same way again.
